The Summoning of the Muse
22/11/2018 10:00 pmSuch a pretty day on the calendar. I could not help but recall another 22nd November. Not the usual suspect of Friday 22nd November 1963 in Dallas Texas but rather Friday 22nd November 2013 at the Dome Memorial Cafe in Victoria Park. Just outside of downtown Dursleyville
It was a scheduled Nanowrimo write in and I had chosen to write about a zombie invasion of the city and a charismatic leader who declared that only he could save the city from the shuffling hordes
It was kind of creepy because once I got into the zone, this character Theodore Addams started giving stump speeches and rallying his rag tag army of lycra louts with words bearing an uncanny resemblance to the content of the Gettysburg Address. Not to be outdone, John F Kennedy insisted on his 15 minutes of fame too. All a bit peculiar since I actually based him on one Tony Abbott who had just won an Australian federal election that September.
It’s those magical moments in the zone that make all the drudgery worth while. The give away serpent signs often involve Biblical texts such as when the same character - a born again atheist goes to a fortune teller just to take the piss and she goes all Magnificat on him and his mission to vanquish the mighty and to raise the lowly to great heights. Suddenly he finds her very believable but still plots and schemes to get her tried and burned as a witch.
